Police Tackle Dangerous Driving On Country Roads

[maddogsx]

Speed camera's, Esp the ones on the A77 are a cheap alternative in order for the govt to show our happy clapping brigade that they are 'doing something' to protect the public from the mean and downright nasty evil motorists who go to fast. The real alternative would be to actually fix the problems on the 77, example, Symington turn off simple either put a roundabout in place or a flyover (which imo would be best option) or simply stop vehicles crossing the road, I've seen tractors and trailers heavy loaded doing U turns on that section of road, it's a bl00dy joke less than 2 mile each direction they can safely turn. That is far more dangerous than somebody doing 90mph on the sections they've turned into a 50 zone.

average speed cameras are sooooo annoying everybody staring at their tom tom's in an angry procession. i sneezed once and blipped the throttle to 52mph, was worried for a couple of weeks after that. bmw's claiming their tiny victories by travelling at a steady 54.9 mph (well done btw)

i remember some school kid won some inventions prize for making a box that goes into cars and limits your speed to the prescribed area - they were talking like it was going to get fitted as standard to all cars - and i just thought that was the absolute end of motoring for me.
